Melania Trump’s choice in outerwear for Thursday’s trip to a Texas detention center housing immigrant children was questionable. While her team first brushed off the green military-style jacket with “I really don’t care, do u?” on the back as “just a jacket” with “no hidden message,” President Trump later said it was a message. Not for the poor kids who had been torn away from their parents, but for the “fake news” media, his go-to line when he can’t come up with something better to say. Le sigh.

Needless to say, there’s a lot of outrage over the jacket, a planned distraction from the status of these more than 2,000 kids who were ripped apart from their families with no firm plans of reuniting them, and the administration in general. Trump’s favorite comedian, Kathy Griffin, was leading the charge, calling the Trumps “liars and criminals” — and there were a lot of others, like Judd Apatow, in her camp (“Nobody could dream them up in their worst nightmares”).

The jacket Melanie wore on the way to meeting the kids held in internment camps has “I don’t really care, do you?” written on the back.

The hypocrisy of @FLOTUS going down to the border to speak broken English to our refugees in that dumb jacket is a little hard to swallow. For all the trump supporters who defend her by saying she speaks five languages—English isn’t one of them.

These people are beyond fiction. Nobody could dream them up in their worst nightmares. Now imagine supporting them so you could turn your fifty billion into 70 billion. How much can anyone spend? How can someone like Murdoch, so close to the end, not care about people? https://t.co/5wFjpf7XRy

You know what? I *am* going to be distracted by Melania’s fucking jacket. Whatever’s going on with her is really bad; if you hate your husband that much, leave him. If you hate your adopted country, you can leave that, too.
